    MXR M-68 Uni-Vibe don't have a mix knob.

    Hello out there. I have a mod question about the MRX M-68 Uni-Vibe. I have it's predecessor the UV-1SC which has a MIX knob to bring the dry into the wet.

    I did a conversion on a Fender Black Top that I had laying around. Pulled out the old pick guard out with everything intact, and did a whole new pick guard. I have an SSH setup, with APS-1's in the neck, and middle, and a Phat Cat (Neck) in the bridge. I was a little leery on the phat cat, and...

    Just showing Luv for Alnico II Pro's

    Man, after hearing these PU on the SD web site, I knew they would be the first to replace the stock PU in my Blacktop. They look and sound beautiful. Bluesy and jazzy when you want them, and Slash-tastic when you really want to. Once I got my string height and poles dialed in, it was OD heaven.
